Tweeting Gloves for Winter 2012

/

Last winter I bought myself these fancy as hell brown leather gloves. I was the bee's knees. Until I realised I am surgically attached to my iPhone, so whether I was waiting outside school for my son or spotting something in a shop window I wanted to photo & price check, the gloves spent more time stuffed in my pocket than on my hands. 

Internet access always won over hand cosiness. Etre emailed me with their nautical autumn/winter collection & I immediately spied their Touchy Gloves. 

It's the natural evolution of gloves for us smart phone addicts, simply removing the index finger tip & thumb means you can tweet from the bus stop without having to undress your handies.

Sea-faring colour schemes are my favourite, and would also make a great gift for Dads who are notoriously tricky to buy for at Christmas.

Get Your Cat a Giant Strawberry Shaped Bed

/

What are you doing this evening? Me? I'm just coaxing my cat into a giant strawberry with bits of chicken.

She sleeps in the kitchen at night and its bloody freezing down there so I've upgraded her from normal cat bed to giant strawberry castle. For heat benefits, obviously. Not just so I can see a cat inside a strawberry house.

I got mine on worldwide eBay so it was dirt cheap. Here's the link.

23 Snaps- a Secure, Family Photo-sharing App

/
Photos of your own child are the most interesting photos you can ever take. For you anyway.

From the moment you clutch that grainy ultrasound of a squishy, squashy tummy bump, you're thinking 'this is going on Facebook'. 'Even better, this will make a fine profile picture'. Cue sighing of everyone else on your Facebook timeline.

Unfortunately, the only other interested parties would be your family or very close friends. That's where 23 Snaps comes in.

Download the free app & connect with Facebook to link your nearest and dearest to yourself.


You can then add age and name details for each of your precious ones, and in a clever feature it marks each photo upload with their exact age on that day.

I'm also thinking this could be a useful tool for diet weight loss photographs for an adult over time, as you can easily enter that data too.

.

www.23Snaps.com is available for iPad, iPhone and will soon be in Android app stores.

So download it, rope in the relatives and start documenting! Who knows, when little Ben or Susan is 17, instead of bringing out the photo albums to show their new girlfriend or boyfriend, you could just fire up 23 Snaps and show them what their embarrassed date looked like when they were precisely six years, seven months and three days old.
